Default How do you break superglue?

I've super glued a magnet into my brake disc. I now need to turn it around to reverse it's polarity. How can I break the grip of the super glue?

Superglue has bugger all shear strength. I wouldn't use it for anything that you expect to stay put when under any sideways force, such as the centrigugal force a rotating object would be subjected to.

Default Re: How do you break superglue?

just use some mole grips, as tim wilky says, a bit of shearing force to the magnet and it will come off the disk. I used epoxy on mine and they came off easly when i wanted.
